Letters Patent No. 100,166, dated February 22, 1870.

IMPROVED PUNCH .AND PRESS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

.and exact description thereof, reference being had to the annexed drawing.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the press or punch.

Figure 2 is an end view.

Figure 3 represents the moving head.

- Figure 1.1. represents the stem or piston of punch.-

A A are the sides or frame-of punch, and are made of iron otsuch proportions tohe of suicient strength, and are the required distance apart to allow the moving head to work between them. lThe sides A. A have three slots in each, as at a, b, and c. i

a and c are circular or eccentric to the slot b.

b is a vertical slot. i 2 v B B representthe moving l1ead,with holes d, e, au'd f, through which pins i, k, and n pass.

4 is a lever fastened to head B.

D D is the piston' or stern of punch.

The part H works'iu space C in head1?, and pin 7c passes through hole h in stem D.

mis a guide fastened to and between the sides A -A, and stem D passes .through a hole in m, which keeps stem D firmly in its place.

The pinsi, k, and u can have frfctionrollers on each end and slots a, b, and c will he of required size to receive them. The pin n will not pass through space C,

but will be made 'in two parts, and each part screwed' into sides of head B, thus giving free action to stem D, and obviate the cutting ot' stem D as at S.

By raising lever 4 the pin i will he carried to 1 and n to 3, which 'will raise piu lc to J..4 The stem D being carried wit-h pin k, will raise the punch to its full height. The lever 4 being pressed downward, will bring pins i and It down ineccentric slots a and c,V

thereby causing piu k to descend in slot b, and forcing,r stem D down with-the combined power pt' lever 4 and ecent-rio or wedge-shaped slots a and c.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Let'- ters Patent, l is- The 'combination of the frame A, having the slots a b c, the perforated and slotted head B, the lever L,'

and the notched stem or punch-'stock D, substantially as and for the purpose set forth. v

IntestimonyAt-hat I claim the foregoing improvementiu punch and press, I have hereunto set my hand this-10th day of September, 1869.
